Hello, Photo no. 2: the Mori Tower in Tokyo

Photo number 1 (🤪) Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

Every day, they work on the restoration, consolidation, and preservation of the temples. A painstaking task...

Good evening everyone,

Congrats to Attila on his well-deserved win—at least seven or eight photos were really high quality.

Here’s my photo #1: George Washington in profile. This is Mount Rushmore, the famous monument carved between 1925 and 1941 in the Black Hills near Rapid City. If you look closely, you might even spot Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint climbing down the rocks.

Good luck to everyone in the contest.

the Japanese covered bridge in Hoi An, Vietnam

The Rising Sun Bridge leading to Ngoc Son Pagoda (Temple of the Jade Mountain) in Hanoi.

Since I don’t have a chipped plate with the Taj Mahal, a snow globe of the Eiffel Tower, or a color-changing barometer shaped like Notre-Dame de Lourdes, I thought maybe this kind of photo fits the theme!
